The same game (called Steel Battalion) with the same controller came out on the Xbox about 6 months ago.

I was about to say that it looked familiar. My best mate is desperately looking to get his hands on enough money to buy Steel Battallion.

Steel Battalion is ****ing rad on a big TV with good sound. It's the best mech sim ever period... but it's totally not worth getting because it costs $200 for the Xbox.

What's up with this Steelhead thing though? Fishing? Those look like reels on the controller. This is a joke right?

I would hope so.

It's obviously a parody of Steel Battalion.

Looking at the site, yeah it's a joke. But I still wouldn't put it past someone to actually make a game like this. How soon before Ghetto Tycoon or the Sims 3rd World or something equally as awful comes out?
